This invention relates to a vanity dresser, the general object of the invention being to provide the dresser. with a wash basin, and to provide sliding doors for covering the basin when not in use so that the dresser has a pleasing and nished appearance when the doors are closed.

This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically pointed out in the appended claim.

However, the novel drying chamber disclosed herein is made the subject matter of my copending application, Serial No. 412,890,

filed Dec. 9, 1929.

In describing the invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which:

Figure 1 is a front View of the invention and a part of the wall to which the dresser is attached.

Figure 2 is a sectional view through the wall and showing the dresser in side elevation.

Figure 3 is a top plan view with the wall in section.

Figure 4 is a section on line 4-4 of Figure 3.

Figure 5 is a section on line 5-5 of Figure 4.

Figure 6 is a section on line 6-6 of Figure 4.

ln these views, the letter A indicates the dresser and the letter B indicates a part of the wall alongside of whichthe dresser is located. The dresser is provided with a central mirror 1 and the side mirrors 2, the mirror 1 acting as a door for the cabinet 3 which extends into an opening in the wall B, and the side mirrors 2 are hingedly connected with the sides of the cabinet, as shown in Figure 3.

A basin or bcwl 4 is arranged in the center of the cabinet lslightly below the top' thereof, the hotand cold water inlets of the basin being connected with the hot and cold 5 water pipes 4 which are connected withV the supply pipes 4 arranged in the wall. These pipes are provided with the usual faucets, the handle of one of the faucets being shown at 5. A pair of sliding doors 6 is arranged in the top of the dresser to cover the basin when the same is not in use, these doors sliding unde-r the side vportions 7 of the top when in open position.

rlhe usual drawers 8 are arranged at one side of the dresser and a drawer 9 is ara0 ranged at the top of the other side and under this drawer 9 is arranged a chamber 10 having the bars 11 therein for receiving damp towels orV the like. The bottoni of this chamber is perforated, as shown at 12, and the ink ner side is provided with a perforated portion 13 so that air can circulate through the chamber and thus dry the towels placed on the bars. If desired, a lamp 14 may be placed under the perforated bottom to heat the air passing through the chamber. This chamber is closed by a door 15 which simulates a pair of drawers. A small drawer 16 is arranged at the central front part of the dresser in front of the basin so that shaving material and the like may be placed therein. The basin is supported from the flanges 17 arranged under the top part of the dresser, and the outlet of the basin is connected with the usual trap 18 which is 80 connected with the usual discharge pipe 19. From the foregoing it will be seen that the dresser is attached to the wall, but has the appearance of an ordinary movable dresser and that the basin, when not in use, is covered by the sliding doors, so that the basin is hidden from view. When the doors are open, they pass under the side portions of the top of the dresser.

lt is thought from the foregoing descrip- 9D tion that the advantages and novel features of the invention will be readily apparent.

t is to be understood that changes may be made in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claim.

What I claim is z A n article of furniture, comprising a plurality of kspaced units for supporting draw- .lijf

Iii)

ers or the like, each unit including a top,

flanged members extending from the upper portions of the units toward each other, a basin positioned between the units and supported by the flanges, Vand a basin-covermember formed in sections, each section be ing slidable under the top of one of the units, said sec'tions being movable to ledge-abutting position, above the basin, to form a corn-l plete top for said article of furniture first named.

In testimony whereof I aflx my signature.
